Chapter 33 What is a Master?
Chapter 33 What is a Master?
"Xiao Fei, show Hong Jie around first," Wu Changqing instructed.
"This is for you."
Wu Fei handed Hong Jie a check, which turned out to be from China Minsheng Bank.
Five million!
"Looks like you've made quite a bit of money?" Hong Jie didn't rush to answer, and then jumped into the sightseeing vehicle.
As Wu Fei drove, he said, "Yes. Thanks to you, I made 60 million."
"Thirty million was given to General Bateng to bail you out."
"This five million is a reward for your hard work."
"This kind of situation doesn't happen often."
"It's more than just hard work, my face still hurts. Young Master Wu, can you get your hands on the Mighty Vajra Palm?" Hong Jie chuckled and readily accepted the check.
Five million is nothing to the Wu family.
We accepted them; they're one of our own.
If you don't accept it, other people often won't be able to proceed.
This is called receiving roses from others and leaving fragrance for them.
"The Vajra Palm is a Shaolin martial art. In the past, it would have been impossible to obtain the original manual. Even martial arts students couldn't force their way into the library to get the book."
"However, some time ago, Section Chief Yun personally led a group south, broke the bronze statue's protective formation, and captured a master."
"I heard that Section Chief Yun never leaves empty-handed; he must have taken some things with him as well."
"Perhaps it contains the Mighty Vajra Palm you're looking for."
"You can go into the 'Xuanwu' APP and do some tasks; it shouldn't be difficult to redeem the rewards."
Wu Fei chatted with him casually and drove him around the manor.
The estate is unbelievably large.
After walking around for about half an hour, we passed a lawn.
Wu Fei stopped the car.
Not far away, a young man in a Zhongshan suit stood proudly. Even from a distance of more than ten meters, his chilling killing intent sent shivers down people's spines.
The young man was now facing two security guards who were holding pistols.
The two sides are currently in a standoff.
Hong Jie still didn't understand what was going on.
The security guards fired their weapons simultaneously.
The young man flashed and sprinted away.
Hong Jie had never seen anyone run so strangely.
The man would sometimes dash to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes roll on the ground, and sometimes flip over like a hawk.
It's a very simple, straightforward, and routine action.
But its efficiency is so high that it defies description.
It took Hong Jie a while to understand.
The person's movements seemed to defy Earth's gravity and inertia.
To be precise, these movements have been ingrained in their very being through millions of hammer blows.
So much so that even in the face of gunfire, they can react in a standardized manner.
Isn't this exactly what Lao Huang meant by "After a thousand hammer blows and countless refinements, its meaning will become clear!"
Boom!
The two security guards quickly emptied their magazines, failing to shoot even a hair on the young man's head.
The young man leaped into the air, his hands trembling.
Ding!
Ding!
White marks from sharp objects were visible on the metal plates worn by the two security guards in their throats.
"There really are people who can dodge bullets?" Hong Jie was dumbfounded.
"certainly!"
"First of all, don't doubt the marksmanship of these security guards; they are all elite retired members of the South Thai Royal Guard."
"The reason it can't be hit is purely due to the gun itself."
Wu Fei smiled slightly and explained patiently.
"Brother Wu, please explain in detail," Hong Jie said quickly.
"We normal people think guns are very fast, but even the fastest gunman still has to go through the time it takes for the bullet to be propelled out of the rifling and fly through the air after pulling the trigger."
"A top marksman firing a high-velocity military pistol takes about 0.04 seconds."
"The visual reaction time of a normal person is 0.1 to 0.2 seconds, which basically leaves no chance to dodge."
"But for skilled martial artists or those who have undergone special training, their reaction time can reach an astonishing 0.01 seconds."
"It's a race against time, a matter of life and death."
"A four-fold reaction time difference is enough for them to dodge bullets and kill their opponents."
"Sometimes we have to admire the imagination of Hong Kong directors; people like the Fire Cloud Evil God who can hold a bullet with one hand do exist."
"Maybe you can too in the future."
"Therefore, despite the rapid progress of technology, human resources remain the most valuable resource for all countries."
Wu Fei, with his hands behind his back, spoke with a maturity beyond his years.
As he spoke, the young man in the Zhongshan suit looked sharply at Hong Jie.
Hong Jie suddenly felt as if a sharp blade was pressed against his throat, and he felt inexplicably tense, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Wu Fei smiled and nodded towards Zhongshan in the distance.
The man withdrew his gaze.
I go!
Is this murderous intent?
That look could kill someone with just one glare.
"His name is Shadow, and he's a reserve officer in Zhongnanhai," Wu Fei said.
"So strong and still a reserve?" Hong Jie found it unbelievable.
"Is it very strong?"
"He was just one of my grandfather's apprentices with average talent."
"That's about mediocre, second-rate!"
"To become a bodyguard in Zhongnanhai, the lowest level is the very least."
Since Grandpa had tacitly allowed Hong Jie to see the shadow, Wu Fei naturally had no need to hide it anymore.
Hong Jie took the opportunity to check his own panel:
Hong Jie (Third-rate, above average)
Martial Arts
Iron Palm: 189/200 (Minor Success)
[Golden Bell Shield: 9/300 (Mastery)]
[Internal Skill: 194/200 (Beginner)]
[Bajiquan (Eight Extremities Fist): 85/100]
In other words, I'm still two levels below the level of being able to dodge bullets like a shadow.
However, once one's internal strength and Iron Palm are fully developed, reaching the lower level of the second tier should not be a problem.
almost.
Of course, what's even more gratifying for Hong Jie is that martial arts techniques and skills can be integrated.
For example, Bajiquan already includes the Cannon Fist. After integrating it with one's existing Cannon Fist proficiency, there is no need to practice it again; on the contrary, its power is increased.
This is precisely why he was so eager to obtain the Vajra Palm technique.
If one can combine the high-explosiveness and high-intensity characteristics of the Vajra Palm with the penetrating and lethal qualities of the Iron Sand Palm, one can maximize the power of internal energy by combining both strength and flexibility.
I took a walk around the manor.
Wu Fei returned to the lobby with him and then dismissed him, saying, "Mr. Hong, it's getting late, so I won't keep you any longer."
"No, if I go back to the hotel now, Chen Kaixuan will probably have someone shoot me in the back," Hong Jie said anxiously.
"Some things must be faced and resolved."
"It's much better to resolve this in South Thailand than in Xia Kingdom, and this is also for the sake of your family."
"Think about it, even if a Muay Thai master or a black Ajarn goes to Wucheng and can't kill you, won't your parents suffer?"
"Go back and check the app. Don't worry, we've arranged security at the Peninsula Hotel."
"There will be wind and waves tonight, but there will be no danger to your life."
Wu Fei gave a very subtle answer.
"I understand, you're using me as bait, I'm the lure," Hong Jie said.
"wrong!"
"You're the main character!"
"You're not a regular staff member, so no one will ask you to do anything."
"You think the world is simple?"
"You don't simply believe that the capital and hidden forces behind boxing matches and slapping events will allow someone with yellow skin to rise to the top of the world, do you?"
"Wherever there are people, there is competition."
"This is just the beginning. What you need to do is stay calm, face it, get used to it, and solve it."
Wu Fei patted him on the shoulder and gave him earnest advice.
"Looks like I have no choice." Hong Jie chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"Before coming to Nantai, I had a choice."
"You can give up martial arts and become a minor internet celebrity with your current skills."
"But now you're in the game."
"If you don't break this deadlock, they'll find you no matter where you run to."
"Either die in trouble, or rise from trouble!"
"This is the destiny of those who practice martial arts."
Wu Fei said.
"good!"
"I hope the storm tonight is big enough not to disappoint me." Hong Jie took a breath, his expression becoming calm.
"Now that's more like a martial artist!"
Wu Fei patted him on the shoulder approvingly.
